It's not about a thing, a gadget or any utility, it is about construct of the human brain to get used to something to the extent o

Manish Puranik's insight:

This would be the case with the 'Humans' who would fall prey to this trap of 'Advocacy' - it could be easily predefined what such Dumb species with Smart gadgets should see, read, watch and interact with.

"The future lies with the democratization of energy. Every household a proud producer as well as consumer of energy, that's th

Manish Puranik's insight:

In complete agreement with the baseline of this idea, I always believed that any being that consumes, can contribute and this basic democratic idea is reflected in all my work here and there. For example, see this recent submission for 'Clean Energy Lab for Not-Profits' incubation program contest.

Oprah Winfrey received the Cecil B. Demille Award for Lifetime Achievement at the Golden Globes and her 9 Minute Speech o

Manish Puranik's insight:

Both these speeches are demonstration of what to say, how to say and why to say in front of what audience you want to say and convey a strong message without sounding antagonistic, judgmental, loud or wicked! Many of the Presumed Leaders and Celebrated Speakers of today could take a hint, I guess…

Only 3 Questions on the First Death Anniversary of Honest Efforts and Innocent Dreams… 1. Was that worth it? 2. At the cost of what? 3. ‘Republic’ of Indian ‘Nation wants to know’… ‘What happened to the people’s voice?’

Things are pretty shocking out there right now -- record-breaking storms, deadly terror attacks, thousands of migrants disappearing beneath the waves and openly supremacist movements rising. Are we responding with the urgency that these overlapping crises demand from us? Journalist and activist Naomi Klein studies how governments use large-scale shocks to push societies backward. She shares a few propositions from "The Leap" -- a manifesto she wrote alongside indigenous elders, climate change activists, union leaders and others from different backgrounds -- which envisions a world after we've already made the transition to a clean economy and a much fairer society. "The shocking events that fill us with dread today can transform us, and they can transform the world for the better," Klein says. "But first we need to picture the world that we're fighting for. And we have to dream it up together."

Manish Puranik's insight:

'The walls between our silos also means that our solutions, when they emerge, are also disconnected from each other. So progressives now have this long list of demands that I was mentioning earlier, those "yeses." But what we're still missing is that coherent picture of the world we're fighting for.'

Manish Puranik's insight:

...with the promise of being the youngest country of the world by 2020, we the people – particularly youth – of India are supposed to take a stance for a long run that the world wants us to give our best to and continue progressively!

Manish Puranik's insight:

'Is GDP relevant any longer...?', 'Shouldn't we replace it with, at least HDI, if not IHDI or GNH...?' All the thought leaders of the World need to reflect on it as it is already Very Very High Time and High Alert as well... (Not a) way to go...!

"Of course, it's much easier to agree on the height of the Eiffel Tower than on moral, political and ideological issues. But in

Manish Puranik's insight:

"...But in a time when the world's problems are more complex and people are more polarized, using science to help us understand how we interact and make decisions will hopefully spark interesting new ways to construct a better democracy..."

Have you ever been to a Circus or a Zoo or an Animal Sanatorium or a Monastery? If you have, did you see the Elephant petted b

Manish Puranik's insight:

In fact it got hurt with the escaping efforts and eventually started to believe that it is impossible to get rid of the chaining, it developed a sense of being a prisoner and slave of the skinny creature called human even if it has NOW outgrown everything – its size, shape, strength and superiority! This is called… Conditioning!
